To the world she was a formidable force. To me? She was the world

 

DAMN.

To be honest I thought the first 150 pages were a bit boring and I was so close to just taking about a month to read but I'm glad I didn't. The mid-ending is SO SO worth it. If you're a fan of the Warnette relationship then this WILL be the book for you just after some time. 

There isn't much Juliette in the first 100 pages or so just kinda her dissoassociating which was a bit annoying to me one of the reasons for the knocked down rating

 

I found the Anderson stuff and Juliette finding him handsome really weird but in like a good way? As in it was good to know he was discomforted by something and it really highlighted his delirium and psychosis

Warner is Warner in this as usual and I do love the enornity of his love for Juliette as always

though he's a bit out of it I feel like he could've been worse

All in all, found it to be boring at first but definitely the end pulled it through for me. It's worth it I'd say.

Certainly was a book. Listen, I could see what the author was trying to do but this was just ridiculous. Not actively bad but not good at all. The most engaging part was me genuinely scared for my life that

Juliette and the old man were going to kiss

It felt a little lazy/haphazard to immediately throw the characters directly back into the situation they quite literally just escaped. I also felt the resolution could have resulted in a lot more answered questions. Still, Warner was iconic in this book, and I will shamelessly admit I read it obsessively.
